I see she's realized she's going to lose the Senate primary.

Controlled opposition and complicity. Can't forget that when we vote.

Voting, but more conscientiously this time will surely do the trick!

Eh, not signing a bill which would retroactively block an active construction project seems like a reasonable objection

I know lying is like breathing in the US, but the project is not active by any definition. It's approved, but only slated for a groundbreaking in July.

So just... Try again, with the exception in the bill for that 1 project? This country is stupid.
